Question

Imagine that you are a doctor in maternity ward. During your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. Remember genotypes are the two alleles given for each trait written with a letter . For this activity 8 - brown eyes b=blue eyes. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of the trait. Given the phenotypes, what are the possible genotypes for these babies?

Answer 1

Answer:

Imagine that you are a doctor in maternity ward. During your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. Remember genotypes are the two alleles given for each trait written with a letter . For this activity 8 - brown eyes b=blue eyes. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of the trait. Given the phenotypes, what are the possible genotypes for these babies? The possible genotypes of these babies are Bb, Bb, bb, bb

Explanation:

Bb= Brown eyes babies

bb= blue eyes babies

from the above analogy, it is crystal clear that the babies are of equal genotypic number which reflects 10:10
